Pet care experience

My 🌎 is their 🌎 big fenced yard

I've been around dogs my whole life and worked closely with most breeds, as my mom has shown dogs professionally. My husband and I work as a team. * Please note that I take bookings as a first come first serve basis. Bookings are not finalize until confirmed through the Rover app. * All dogs must be crate trained! If dog is not, crate trained, the owner is liable for any damages caused by the dog. *Pick up and drop off windows are subject to only 1 hour windows. * I offer daily enrichment activities from snuffle mats to doggy puzzles. * We have lots of doggy toys and doggy beds. * I charge holiday rate for all dogs in my care during holidays even siblings * We take more than one booking at a time. But I can make accommodations if you would like your dog separated from any other guests we have. I have helped whelped puppy litters from Rottweilers, boxers,GSP to Chinese cresteds. Dogs have been family since birth to me, I also love taking photos of dogs and other animals sometimes.

Crista and her family where absolutely amazing. Great communication and she sends a lot of pics. My dog came home exhausted and you could tell they really cared for her. I willl be using her in the future

Crista was wonderful! We were nervous leaving our golden, but Crista immediately put me at ease. She was communicative and provided me with many updates. I never had to question if our boy was having a good time…Crista made sure we knew! We will absolutely be using Crista for all our future boarding needs.

Had a great experience boarding my Belgian Malinois with Crista. Very effective communicator and sent me several pics multiple times a day. Highly recommended!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 07, 2026

This was our first time using Rover and we are from out of town. Crista responded quickly and welcomed our pup. She updated us through the day and he was happy and tired when we picked him up. Such sweet people, I’ll definitely use this service again. Thank you Crista and family for being so accommodating!

Crista was incredible! She sent pics to keep me updated. My two dogs clearly got plenty of exercise and weren’t super dirty when I got them back. 10/10 recommend Crista!
